[1] During the Uganda–Tanzania War, a squadron of MiG aircraft en route to Mwanza Airport in northern Tanzania was hit in a friendly fire whilst flying over the nearby Musoma town.

[4] On 28 June 2010, an FT-5 (registration JW-9119) whilst on a routine training mission, lost communication with the airbase and made an emergency landing on the A14 highway.

[5][6] The airbase maintains a prohibited (HTP6) and a restricted airspace (HTR7) west of Dar es Salaam's Julius Nyerere International Airport.

[7] A report published in 1996 by the Tanzania Accident Investigation Branch recommended that the prohibited area (HTP6) ought to be modified in order to facilitate easier access to towns west of Dar es Salaam.

[8] According to a local pilot, the detour over the airbase results in an additional 15 minutes to the flight duration between Morogoro and Dar es Salaam.
